This invention discloses a
noise reduction device for wind turbines, comprising: a rotating
noise reduction cover plate; a plurality of folding
noise reduction cover plates, the folding
noise reduction cover plates being mounted on the rotating
noise reduction cover plate and located at a target position on the
tower, the target position corresponding to the end position of the wind
turbine blades when they move to be parallel with the
tower; a rotating mechanism for driving the rotating
noise reduction cover plates to rotate circumferentially along the
tower; a folding mechanism for retracting or unfolding the folding noise reduction cover plates; and a control mechanism for driving the rotating mechanism and the folding mechanism, the control mechanism being mounted on the tower. The device provided by this invention allows the entire device to
yaw with the blades under the control of the
yaw system, thereby further improving noise reduction efficiency; in
extreme weather conditions, the folding mechanism can fold and retract the folding noise reduction cover plates, extending their service life; it requires no modification to the shape and structure of the tower itself, is easy to assemble and disassemble, has low cost, and provides good results.
